Chicken Bonne Femme

by Irene Lindvall


This is recipe two for tonight since I had to skip last night, and this chicken was also fantastic! I felt like this was going to be a fancy dish. Maybe it's the name? Maybe because it makes me think of Julia Child? It required a lot of steps, a good deal of monitoring, and it smelled great. All of this usually equals a really great dish and we were not disappointed. The dish is really quite easy to make and I was able to make the salad while the chicken was cooking, but it really does take about 45 minutes to cook.  Other than the time, no complaints. We had a really great dinner!

Things I learned from this recipe:

I thought hot sauce was an interesting ingredient in this recipe. I used sriracha, but in retrospect I wonder if Tobasco sauce was more the flavor they had in mind. I will definitely try the recipe again with a different hot sauce.

Would I make this recipe again?:

Definitely
